The Total Solubility of the Co-Solubilized PAHs with Similar Structures Indicated by NMR Chemical Shift

Abstract

The synergism/inhibition level, solubilization sites and the total solubility (St) of co-solubilization systems of phenanthrene, anthracene and pyrene in Tween 80 and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) are studied by 1H-NMR, 2D nuclear overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) and rotating frame overhauser effect spectroscopy (ROESY). In Tween 80, inhibition for phenanthrene, anthracene and pyrene is observed in most binary and ternary systems. However, in SDS, synergism is predominant. After analysis, we find that different synergism or inhibition situation between Tween 80 and SDS is related to the different types of surfactants used and the resulting different co-solubilization mechanisms. In addition, we also find that three polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
